SUMMARY:Vedanta Book Club - Monthly - Friday
DESCRIPTION:Join us in person at Vedanta Hall or via Zoom  \nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/88434388900 \nDiscussion/ Q & A led by Pravrajika Sridharaprana\nBook Club Theme: Refining the Ego\n‘Once refined\, it can be a powerful tool in our hands. That is the underlying belief behind this attempt at refining the ego.’ \nFrom the book Vedanta in Practice – Spiritual Unfoldment\, lectures of Pravrajika Ajayaprana. \nDiscussion Themes:\n\nFOUR METHODS: A step toward overcoming egotism is admitting to ourselves that we have it. ‘I am alright’\, we might say ‘it is they who are arrogant.’ Like it or not\, we have to admit that we are arrogant now and then. Overcoming that requires nothing more complicated than humility.\nWHAT REMAINS: : Spiritual teachings assert we’re ‘immortal\, effulgent\, of magnificent beauty’\, but how often our muddled\, muddied mind spreads a smear of angst and sadness over the treasures within. What remains beyond intellect\, mind and ego is the Atman (Soul).\nTHE LIGHT OF LIFE: ‘Before you go into meditation … try to visualize a bright\, beautiful\, silvery light or golden orange light in the innermost core of your heart. That is your real nature.’\nAWARE OF ONENESS: ‘In that person who is aware of the oneness of the whole universe\, there is no ‘I’. A drop in the ocean has two identities. When it identifies itself as a drop\, it remains limited; when it identifies with the vast ocean – what happiness\, expanse\, and freedom it gets!‘\n\nWe look forward to exploring articles by our founding president\, Rev Pravrajika Ajayaprana Mataji\, and articles by other notable figures in the Vedanta movement. \nJoin our Vedanta Society members in exploring the deeper side of life. \nThe format includes a PowerPoint Presentation with slide-by-slide segments of the article and a discussion led by Pravrajika Sridharaprana \n \n
